DIR. E. NJ. Hunt, of the State Board of
Health, said OIL Tuesday that he did not
think there was any danger to be appre-
hended in New Jersey from the reported
appearance of cholera at New York. The
disease, however, has been known to
spread in winter time as well as in sum-
mer. The Health Boards in the border
counties have been instructed to take pre-
cautions against the advance of the scourge
into New Jersey.

We have more than once, during the
week Of the Fair and since, been solicited
to publish the names Of the four members
Of the executive committee of the West
Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural As
ISOLATION who opposed the privilege asked
by the ladies of the W. c. 7. L. of Salem
county to erect and furnish a tent or booth
for the distribution of Temperance litera-
ture and a resting place for tired and
weary women and children. We feel so
little interest in the Fair-as they choose
to call it-and so much less for some of
those who are in the management of it,
that we do not think it or they are
worth wasting ink, paper and type to
bring into prominence. Beside all this, so
far as we can learn the ladies do not care
to have the matter brought into question,
and we have yet to hear from them the
first word of complaint except in the way
of pity. The exhibition belongs to those
who W the stock, as we understand it,
and they have the right to manage 1t their
own way. If they choose to sell the priyi-
lege of dispensing soft drinks" with the
understanding that with this sale the privi-
lege Of selling stronger drinks on the quiet
is included, they are the ones a%ccount-
able. The Fair under its present manage
ment is rapidly finding its level and will
no doubt in due season rank where it be-
longs. Whether the rank be high oil low
will of course depend on the wisdom Of
those who shape its course.

How DO You Vote:
How do you voie2
Tbo4 T. ouaz1iou

How do you vote
Thai is the question.
We ask not your party or creed,
We ask not your race or complexion,
or how you have voted before,
But how will you vote next election
You say you're a temperance man,
That drink never ticklcs your palate:
We're glad, but we measure, you know,
our friends by their acts at the ballot.
Friend James i Il Temperance man,
And 80 is our good neighbor Weller;
Both talk of strong drink a. a curse,
But keep it themselves in their cellar.
Farmer Jones represents well the men
who pity the d~runkard's condition;
But none ofihe three ever votes
For strict, unreseryed prohibition.
How do you stand:
That Is the question.
No license or plenty of drink,
You are voting for one or the other:
There's no half measure between
Which side ave you taken, my brother:
The question i pointed and clear,
You vote for salvation or ruin
For life to the nation at large.
or death through distilling and brewing.
The value of temperance men
Is formed at the polls each elections:
We measure them, then, by their votes,
Assembled for common protection.
The votes of the people control
Affairs in the town and the nation,
The voters deciding between
Corruption and wise mini-tration
How do you vote
That j. the question.
DO you believe it is right
To vote for the nations dishonol?
To vote for her downfall and shame,
And thus bring destruction upon her?
Your votes elect men who make law
suppressing or aiding this drinking:
And each individual is
Responsible, / have been thinking.
1t matters not what the man Is,
How high or how low his position
In casting his ballot for drink,
He votes for his fellows perdition.
That drink Is our country's curse
1t is a fact beyond all denial,
And now it is high time, think,
We gave prohibition a trial.

THB meteorological summary for the
month Of January, given in another col
iumn, as recorded at the signal station in
this city, presents some interesting facts
that can be relied upon and are worthy
OF perusal. The lowest temperature, on
the I'd, 43.6 degrees below zero, was 3.6
degrees colder than ever before recorded
in the history Of the Office. Also the min
imum temp erature Of the LIST, 4th, 7th and
9th was greater than that of any preced-
ing year Of record. The comparative
mean temperature, as will be seen, has
never been exceeded except in 1875. The
comparative precipitations shows the
monthly snowfall to have been exceeded
in 1865 and 1877, while in 1878 the
amount for the entire month was inappre-
ciable. This does not prove that there
was more snow on the ground during the
month in 1875 and 1876, but simply that
more fell during the month, so that the
above statements not in the least confute
the statements of the fifteen year resi-
dents that in that time there has never
before been so much snow on the
ground. r sa.

Mr.. BIDLAKE's bill providing for an
equal distribution Of cars to shippers by
railroad companies has been amended so
as to read as follows:
SECTION l. That when demand is made
upon the local agent of any railroad COM
pany for empty cars by companies or per-
sons wishing to ship grain, merchandise.
stock, or immigrant moveables, and the
demand for said cars is greater than the
supply, then the cars delivered at such sta.
tiOns each day shall be divided equally be-
tween the parties, so ordering, as near as
is possible.
SECTION 2. If at the end of each week
any person or company have not received
an equal number of the cars delivered, as
near as was possible so to divide, then such
company shall be held liable for amount of
damages proven.
The bill has been reported favorably
by the committee having it in charge and
will be incorporated as section in bill
soon to be presented made up from the
numerous bills submitted to the grain
and warehouse committee for action.
Mr.. Bidlake's costituents are particularly
interested in this measure and will be
pleased to know the progress their rep
resentative has made.

J. W. MoC1UNG, who is an irrepressi-
BILE man of Ideas at st. Paul, has revived
agitation of the project of connecting the
Mississippi and Lake Superior by slack
water or canal navigation, with the result
of bringing to the attention of the cham
ber of commerce of his city variety of
facts going to prove that the project is
not visionary one. Possibly the canal
may never be built, but those who advo-
cate it contend strongly that $50 miles
of cheap water carriage would result
in reduction of railway rates for all the
Mississippi valley-from the Alleghanies
to the Rockies and from the great lakes
to the gulf.

AN unprecedented temperance reform
still continues in activity at Yankton.
All classes of persons, from the highest
society to the lowest, have joined hands
in their resolve for total abstinence, and
are now working shoulder to shoulder to
so establish public opinion that the
fruits of their labors may continue to in
crease and be perpetuated. They are
even going further than this, and are ex-
tending their influence to the neighbor-
hoods and farm houses throughout the
county, and at the solicitation of many
whom they hope to reform. All nation
alities are being reached, and seem to en-
ter into the work with equal enthusiasm.
There is such thing as reaction in tenn
perance reform, but there is always much
less of it in moral suasion crusades than
in legal movements, and this fact gives
outside parties the hope that the Aatter-
ing result of the work thus far may be
permanent.

Ex-GovERNoR PIERCE is congratulated
by his newspaper friends upon his re-
turn to the profession, where they feel
that he is more at home, and where the
honors he can earn will be more surely
paid than the rewards earned in official
life. AS governor of Dakota he has been
fortunate in gaining the respect Of the
whole territory, and retires with the un-
disputed reputation Of having been as
capable and useful a chief executive as
ever the federal government gave terri
tory. But, after all, he is at home now,
in happier position, where he will con-
tinue friend to Dakota, and an effective
worker for it's interests.

THERE is something about the eleva-
tion of M. L. Mccormack to the gov
ernorship of Dakota that is gratifying to
Dakotans and it is indeed a proud day
for that gentleman and his friends. He
has been typical Dakotan, and through
his own energy and perseverance has
risen from the common plane to the high
est position in the grandest territory in
the union. It is gratifying to the men
who have witnessed the progress which
Mr.. Mccormack has made, who have
been associated with him in enterprises
for the development and advancement of
the territory and who have enjoyed the
warmth of his friendship, to greet him as
their foremost citizen. True, his incum-
bency of the Office of governor is tempo
rary and he was placed in the position
through an unusual channel, but the fact
that through his own efforts and merits
he reached the position which made him
the only person qualified, under the cir
cumstances, for the governorship, is suf-
ficent cause for congratulation. He was
one of Dakota's pioneers, his growth
and progress has been in and with Da-
kota, and it is a source of pride to his
friends of the northwest that he has
grown from the plain, unassuming Soap
tain" to the honored and courted Gov
ernor Mccormack.

McC Cormack, who is now governor III fact
until the confirmation Of Judge Church.
1t is expected that the confirmation Of
Judge Church will be announced in d
few days, but it may be weeks. Governor
McC Cormack expresses the belief that the
confirmation will come in due time, and
IN anticipation of that event, and as a
matter Of courtesy to his successor, the
policy Of Governor McC Cormack will be-,
as nearly as he can determine, the policy
OF Governor Church. If the delay in
confirmation necessitates the making of
the territorial appointments, it may be
expected that Governor McC Cormack will
be guided by Judge Church's desires,
subscribing his own personal inclination
in the matter, to the end that the new
governor may have cabinet with whom
he shall be in perfect sympathy and ac-
cord "a necessary attribute to success

SECRETARY LAMAR has again overruled
Commissioner Sparks in the case of Sam
uel Wild, Mitchell district, by deciding
that settler may leave his claim to gain
livelihood without injur1ng his rights.
AS this is not the first time Sparks has
been corrected on this point, the conclu-
sion must be that he is a dull or wilful
student. Judge Tripp has decided with
reference to the validity of final receipts
in land matters that the jurisdiction of
courts commences only when that of the
interior department. ceases-at the final
issue of the patent. This decision is of
great Importance to land loan agents and
investors, as under it final receipt from
a local land Office is not sufficient secur-
ity before the courts for money loaned. -

FROM the reports published, it would
seem that the National Park expedition
under Lieut.. Schwatka, in the interests
of the New York World, was not crown
ing success, as far as it's nominal object
is concerned. The project was to give
the Worlds readers views of this wonder
land of the world, beautifed by the frosty
and wintry effects as photographed by
Artist Haynes, and the incidents of the
trip and the beauties beheld described in
an entertaining manner by Lieut..
Schwatka, of Arctic exploration fame and
experience. The party got only about
hundred miles into the park when some
of them suffered from hemorrage, all of
them from homesickness, and they made
speedy tracks for return to the places
from which they set out. Artist Haynes,
however, got some splendid views, the
World got considerable national adver-
tising, so there was without doubt no
great loss.

The question as to how prisoners
should be treated and still allow the pen
itentiaries to meet as fully as possible
the ends for which they are maintained
is an important one. The opinion among
prisoner managers has been fast growing
from the former idea that punishment
and not reformation was the primary
purpose of the institutions, until now
there is a question if in the zeal for
reformation the subject of punishment is
not too absolutely overlooked. But the
question Of contract labor for the prison
ers seems to be receiving the more atten-
tion at present. Several states have
strongly legislated against the labor of
it's convicts being contracted to anybody.
This action has been taken at the insti-
cation of skilled mechanics, who claim
that it is manifestly unjust for them to be
obliged to compete with labor which is
paid only nominal sum, and by manu-
facturers who cannot continue safe
business with the unsettled market caused
by placing these goods of nominal cost
before the public. On the other hand,
wherever contract labor has been prohib-
tied, the enforced idleness is said to be
the most inhuman punishment that can
be devised. A recent report of the super
intendent of the Nav York prisons shows
this to be strikingly true. Contract labor
was abolished, but in one prison the time
of the agreement did not expire until
about year later than the other. At
this institution the prisoners more than
paid it's expenses, the discipline was bet
ter than ever before, the general health
of the inmates first clsss, and no prisoner
was discharged who could not read and
write. At the other, where the occupants
were idle, the total expense of the prison
had to be paid by tax payers, the chap
lain reports that "large numbers seem to
be falling into a semi-fatuous condition,
some very near insanity, forty-three have
been sent to the asylum for insane con-
victs during the year, while immoral hab-
it's are sending many to the hospital" I"
The warden says: impaired health is
apparent in many cases, disobedience and
a reckless disregard of the discipline and
rules of the prison are frequent, and the
evil tendencies Of bad natures are gradu-
ally but surely developed It is evident
that some remedy should be hit upon to
obviate these difficulties. Out door en-
ployment has been tried in Georgia and
severely condemned by many writer's. A
satisfactory solution of this question Of
fers good field for the speedy work of
philanthropists.

YESTERDAY was ground hog" day.
Everybody knows the popular theory
that on the second day of February the
ground hog comes out from his winter
quarters, and if he can see his shadow,
he goes back and remains six weeks. The
first thought of many people yesterday
morning was to see if the sun was shin
ing. 1t was; not but about II o'clock it's
splendor shone forth, and the weather for
the next six weeks was Predetermined to
be intensely cold. The awakened ground
hogs cript back to their winter quarters
yesterday and will there remain until the
middle of March, as goeth the old
theory.

A BILL pending in the council, which
provides for a lien on the crop, with pri-
ority over other liens and iucumbrances,
will, if enacted, facilitate the supplying
of seed wheat throughout all of the terri
tory where there was failure of the
wheat crop last season. The Northern
Pacific railroad company will see to the
supply Of farmers needing that assist
ance within or near it's land grant limits,
but there are other sections of the terri
tory where the farmers will have to buy
or borrow grain for seed; and even our
railroad company's iberality, in loaning
without interest, will be helped as well
as guarded by a proper lien law, such as
is proposed.

The philanthropic work of the Ladies'
Aid society of the city is deserving of the
highest commentator. There are many
poor families who have not taken measures
to prepare themselves for such an ex-
tremely cold winter as it has been, and
had they not been sought out by the
ladies of this society and some provision
made for such, serious results would have
likely occurred during the last severe
weather, aside from the amount of suffer-
ing of which it is repulsive to think. The
bequests they ask to assist them in their
kindhearted work are such as are practic-
ally worthless to those from whom they
are sought and the encouragement of a
substantial response to their requests,
should be given them.

D. o. PRESTON and son have retired

has been assumed by j. L. Cotton, the
proprietor, with his son, L. D. Cotton, as

he will, for his coal mine is adding to his
income better daily average than the
